With fig season quickly coming to an end I picked up a bunch of them on the weekend. I made some
fig jam
and I wanted to try using it in a savoury dish. Pork chops in a balsamic vinegar and some kind of fruit or berry sauce is an easy and tasty standby. In this case a balsamic sauce with spiced fig jam and fresh figs. Throw in some shallots, garlic and thyme for even more flavour. This dish turned out pretty good. The vinegar contrasted nicely with the sweetness of the figs. The thyme and the spices from the fig jam added a really nice flavour to the sauce.

Turned out pretty good, unfortunately I didn't have any basalmic vinegar. So instead I subbed red wine vinegar and some brown sugar and little vanilla. I also didn't have any shallots, but I did have vidalia onion.
